Religion in Irish Literature and Culture
Contrary to the widespread belief in Ireland's rapid secularisation, religion continues to play a significant role in twenty-first-century Irish culture, though not in the familiar forms of Catholicism and Protestantism.

In March and September of 1711, in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Ireland’s last witch trials took place.
